    First plastic trowel I’ve used. I like it more now the corners are broke in to my way of plastering. Can get into the corners and do delicate touches with it now. It does seem to nick very easily. I take the little nicks out by running it over some dry plastered walls. Don’t know how the...

    Skim over internal render??

    Yes thistle bonding coat. If you want to pay a fortune for cement boards go ahead mate. But you’ll have to put them everywhere or you will get a step in the wall

    Re pointing work

    My new next door neighbors have just moved in. Their dad has been mixing multi up in a b&q orange bucket with his hands and pointing the bad bits on the brick work where the old pipes have been etc. There’s sh*te all over their back yard and paving stones where he’s cleaned the expensive b&q...

    Skim over internal render??

    Depends how dry it is. Plenty of pva 5 parts water 1 part pva. Could use a tight coat of bondingcoat. Then 2 coats of finish. ( or just1 on tiled areas) Might get away without bonding coat but it’s a risk I dot and dab with moisture resistant board in bathrooms to get a really easy to tile to...

    Re pointing work

    Get yourself a decent airflow visor for grinding out if you haven’t already. Nice fresh air to breath and a visor that doesn’t mist up.

    Skim peeling over green grit??

    Yeah, plaster like chewing gum. I had the same trouble. I changed to a Nela max plastic trowel to stop it peeling off. Nearly packed plastering in because of it. Got its number now but it’s been a f*ck about. It’s like I’ve had to learn all my backgrounds again.

    I learned my lesson. First time I didn’t padlock my ladders on my roof rack they got nicked! Can’t be too trusting is the moral of the story. I now paint all my tools with anti theft paint and cake em in grease that’ll teach em.
